Project 24 in 2011

Our focus this summer is Project 24. Project 24 is based on Deuteronomy chapter 24 where God commands His people to leave some food at the edge of their fields and not harvest all of it but leave some for the orphans, widows and aliens. In an effort to honor God's word, Defend the Orphans ministry created Project 24. This is a time when we donate and collect items that are needed for orphans and foster children and place them in the Project 24 box at church. In the summer we usually focus on collecting school supplies for the children at Big Oak Ranch. We have just completed this project and delivered a car full of supplies last Friday! Thank you to Coaling Baptist church who always gives so generously to help take care of the needy.

Hello To ALL

It has been a long time since I posted a blog but we have had a great fall/winter at DTO. In Nov. we began our Dollar Drive for Adoption Awareness in honor of National Adoption Awareness month. The proceeds went to fill the Christmas wish lists of 12 foster children of the Alabama Baptist Children's home. We were so blessed to get to help make their Christmas a better one. Thanks yo to all of Coaling Baptist church for your wonderfully generous hearts as we all endeavor to please the Lord by helping those in need. Blessings to you in the New Year too.
